Attractive and meticulously detailed nineteenth-century map of London, showing the boroughs and postal districts, railways, but predating Victoria station, built in 1860. The area covered extends from Kentish Town to Camberwell, and from Kensington to the Isle of Dogs.
Closed tears on centrefold margins, not affecting map. Very good condition.
